Bryan for the Senate? National Chairman Norman E. Mack, of the Democratic party, Issued a state ment tonlqht In which he declared that he did not believe Mr. Bryan would again be a candidate for the presidency. He said he believed that the Nebraskan might be a candidate for the United States senate m 1911, provided'the legis lature of his state is democratic In that year,*when the first vacancy will occur. The latest returns Indicate that In the national house of representatives the re publicans will have 209 members and the democrats 171, with eleven districts miss ing. Judge Taft's plurality In the state of New York, according to returns late to night, Is 203,495. more than 28.000 in ex cess of President Roosevelt’s plurality of four years ago. Governor Chas. E. Hughes has been re-elected In New York state by 71,159. The returns as between president and qovernor Indicate a heavy splitting of .tickets. The heavy vote In Ohio made figures extraordinarily late owing to the Im mense size of the ballot. Mr, Taft car ried his own state, however, by 60.000 plurality, a reduction of more than 200,- 000 from tha Roosevelt vote four year* ago. The democratic state ticket In Ohio, headed by Judson Harmon for qovernor. appears to be safely elected. The state legislature, which Is to choose a succes sor to Senator Foraker, appears to be , In doubt as between tha republicans and i democrats. In Indiana Mr. Taft was successful In carrylnq tha state by about 8,000, but the entire democratic state ticket headed by Mr. Marshall for governor wae elected. The congressional delegation from the state shows a gain of seven democrats. The returns from Weet Virginia, owing to the mountainous character of the country, are slow In coming In. A suffi cient number of • counties and districts have been heard from, however, to show that Mr. Taft has a safe plurality. . Colorado early In the day shifted, from the doubtful column to the Bryan Hit. that they would, and the old woman sept the money. Neither came, and now the grandparent Is bitter and res olute.
